Deploys a Verdaccio private npm registry to an EC2 instance via CDK

Uses CDK to provision the following:

• A new VPC
• Two public subnets
• A security group
• An EC2 instance in one of the subnets

The /src/config.sh file is used as user-data for the EC2 instance. This file will handle configuring and running a Verdaccio private npm registry.

To Deploy

Ensure aws-cdk is installed and bootstrapped.

$ npm install -g aws-cdk
$ cdk bootstrap

Then build and deploy.

$ npm run build
$ cdk deploy

Output

• Ec2CdkStack.DownloadKeyCommand: The command needed to download the private key that was created.
• Ec2CdkStack.IPAddress: Public IP Address of Instance.
• Ec2CdkStack.KeyName: Key Name that was created.
• Ec2CdkStack.sshcommand: The command used to connect to the instance.

Keys and Access

A Key Pair is created as part of this project. The public key will be installed as an authorized key in the EC2 instance.

To connect to the instance:

1. Download the private key from aws secretsmanager:

   # This will downloaded the key as `cdk-key.pem` and grant permissions.
   $ aws secretsmanager get-secret-value --secret-id ec2-ssh-key/cdk-keypair/private --query SecretString --output text > cdk-key.pem && chmod 400 cdk-key.pem

2. SSH to the instance using the command provided from the stack's output Ec2CdkStack.sshcommand.

   For example:

   $ ssh -i cdk-key.pem -o IdentitiesOnly=yes ec2-user@1.111.11.111

   Find the command for your specific instance in the stack's output.
